Judy's distance from the intersection: d

<span>When Jackie is 1 mile farther from the intersection than Judy:
</span>Jakie's distance from the intersection: d+1

T<span>he distance between them is 2 miles more than Judy’s distance from the intersection: d+2

</span>How far is Jackie from the intersection?
d+1=?

Using the Pythagoras Theorem:
c^2=a^2+b^2; a=d, b=d+1, c=d+2
(d+2)^2=(d)^2+(d+1)^2
(d)^2+2(d)(2)+(2)^2=d^2+(d)^2+2(d)(1)+(1)^2
d^2+4d+4=d^2+d^2+2d+1
d^2+4d+4=2d^2+2d+1
d^2+4d+4-d^2-4d-4=2d^2+2d+1-d^2-4d-4
0=d^2-2d-3
d^2-2d-3=0
Factoring:
(d-3)(d+1)=0

d+1=0→d+1-1=0-1→d=-1<0 (negative): No possible. The distance can't be negative.

d-3=0→d-3+3=0+3→d=3 miles>0 (positive): Ok

Jakie's distance from the intersection=d+1=3+1→d+1=4 miles

Answer: <span>Jackie is 4 miles far from the intersection

A line passes through the point (-4, -8) and has a slope of 5/2 write an equation in slope intercept form for this line
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

y = 5x/2 + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the equation for slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Since we have the coordinates of one point on this line and the slope, we can substitute that in and find b first:

y = mx + b

-8 = 5/2(-4) + b

-8 = -10 + b

b = 2

So we can use the slope and this y intercept we found to plug back into the equation:

y = mx + b

y = 5x/2 + 2

Circle A would make more sense (I'm not exactly sure) because it shows the entire circle (if you know what I mean).
